there'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow

Well, guess who turned up on my doormat last week? Only my little Green Moleskine. Yes, folks, the traveller has returned. After backpacking around the world for three years one might have thought he'd look a little dishevelled but, no, he's looking gorgeous. AND, he came bearing gifts. Not only a back pocket full of little souvenirs from his travels, but some of the most beautiful drawings I've ever clapped eyes on. I'm so touched to finally have him home, I don't know that I'll ever be able to let him go again (and, let's face it, if I do it could be another twenty years before he returns).

Anyways, below is a little teaser of Suzanne's contribution. Thank you, Suzanne. Thank you all. I'll post more photos shortly.

Suzanne Rocks (again)

Yikes. Now I have two.

So finally, I'm getting around to posting this. I've had it for some time now, but, when I was packing stuff for the move that hasn't actually happened (a long story) I filed away my camera's USB lead safely. And, well, yeah, I couldn't find it. Until now.

So, here she is. Suzanne in France's Moley. I often feel like I'm repeating myself, at this point, so I'll try not to. Just one thing, Suzanne, how can you be so cool? I can't tell you how much I'd love to draw like this.

On the back Suzanne says "The connection between France and money may appear random but I assure you it isn't. This is the cash we're saving in hopes to travel, see the world and visit our Moly friends." But, that's not right, WE are coming to see YOU! I'm saving up right now. Well, I say saving, but I actually mean hoping for a lottery win.

(I don't know if I chose the best photos, here, but trying to choose from about a hundred is an impossible task. I'll put more on Flickr soon.)

autumn leaves revisited

I've now uploaded the photos of Gabi's moley to Flickr. You might like to check them, and all the lovely comments, out HERE. I didn't do to well with these pics, I'm afraid. But, there'll be LOTS more when I add my bit! Cheerio, my ducks.

autumn blew it's leaves at me

So finally, guys, here it is. Suzanne's contribution to Gabi's Moley.

Looking really beautiful, I'm sure you'll agree.

The colours are just so good. SO good.

Can't wait to get working on it. But, I think I might just look at it some more, for a little while longer.

It's dreamy.
